The #2 pick is supposed to get you an All-NBA level player. Noah has yet to reach even the All-Star level. Charlotte is trying to take this pick and either draft or trade for a franchise guy. If you add Joakim Noah to what is arguably the worst team in NBA history you still have a lottery team. This trade idea is basically the equivalent of intentionally drafting a bust just so you can avoid taking a risk. Terrible idea for Charlotte.
